I’m not at work, so I’m moving slower than normal, but still trying to get a few things done. In the spirit of that, let’s watch this slow-motion masterpiece.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I plan on doing a LOT of sleeping, so I hope that your day is filled with joy and turkey. 🙂
Cor*nu*co*pi*a
We love to say it, now we love to draw it.
Rock on.
More head shots
My 8th graders really liked the Mona Lisa in the classroom. Well, actually they didn’t like it at first. They thought it was creepy. But eventually they came around and said that I should do the same thing in other classrooms. They got into it while I was cutting out heads during math class and started finding other heads for me to do.
I think I got 4 classrooms done in the first round, but then it occurred to me that the hardest part for me (the cutting) would be the easiest part for Lauren. After all, she actually teaches cutting. I think we did 7 or 8 more classrooms a couple of days later, and now we’re ready to do 8 more. I think that leaves just a couple.
I was trying to be all sneaky about it (but without having to come in really early or stay really late). I’ve been found out by 2 teachers. They’ve been sworn to secrecy.
I really wasn’t expecting Wally to be all into it.
All the credit
Smokey Eye
I do a silly craft with my kids at Thanksgiving. Yes, a craft. A piece of art that looks just like everyone else’s ‘art’ that actually involves way too much work on the part of the teacher. (Can you tell I am not a fan of crafts?) Anyway, we do this one and I call it good. (It warms my heart when the ambitious kids grab their own paper afterward and make their own crazy footprint/handprint turkeys.)
To make the eyes, they color two small circles and then put hole reinforcers over those.
Brianna’s really has that smokey-eye effect that is so difficult to do without a team of makeup experts.
